Roscoea purpurea is a perennial<\/span><\/a> herbaceous plant<\/span><\/a> occurring in the Himalayas<\/span><\/a>, particularly Nepal<\/span><\/a>.[1]<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/sup> Most members of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae<\/span><\/a>), to which it belongs, are tropical, but species of Roscoea<\/span><\/a><\/i> grow in much colder mountainous regions.[2]<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/sup> It is sometimes grown as an ornamental plant in gardens.[3]<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Roscoea purpurea<\/i> is a <\/span>perennial<\/span><\/a> herbaceous plant<\/span><\/a>. Like all members of the genus Roscoea<\/i>, it dies back each year to a short vertical <\/span>rhizome<\/span><\/a>, to which are attached the <\/span>tuberous roots<\/span><\/a>. When growth begins again, “<\/span>pseudostems<\/span><\/a>” are produced: structures which resemble stems but are actually formed from the tightly wrapped bases (sheaths) of its leaves.[2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> R. purpurea<\/i> can grow to over 50 cm tall, with wide leaves and a stout pseudostem, although the height varies. The leaf sheaths are pale green or may have a dark reddish-purple tinge.[3]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
The stem (<\/span>peduncle<\/span><\/a>) of the flower spike is hidden by the leaf sheaths. The flowers are the largest of any species in the genus. They are usually purple to mauve in colour, although white- and red-flowered forms have been found in Nepal.[3]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Each flower has the typical structure for Roscoea<\/a><\/i> (see the diagrams in that article). There is a tube-shaped outer <\/span>calyx<\/span><\/a>. Next the three <\/span>petals<\/span><\/a> (the <\/span>corolla<\/span><\/a>) form a tube slightly longer than the calyx, terminating in three lobes, an upright hooded central lobe and two slightly smaller side lobes. Inside the petals are structures formed from four sterile <\/span>stamens<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>staminodes<\/span><\/a>): two lateral staminodes form what appear to be small upright petals; two central staminodes are partially fused at the base to form a lip or labellum.[2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Roscoea purpurea<\/i> is native to the <\/span>Himalayas<\/span><\/a>, and in particular <\/span>Nepal<\/span><\/a>.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span> It occus in a range of habitats, both damp and dry. It has been found in alpine grassland, rock faces, terraced walls, clearings and woodland edges; sometimes exposed to the full sun and sometimes in the shade of other herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees.[6]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
R. purpurea<\/i> like other Roscoea<\/i> species and cultivars, is often grown in rock gardens. Plants generally require a relatively sunny position with moisture-retaining but well-drained soil. As they do not appear above ground until late spring or even early summer, they escape frost damage in regions where subzero temperatures occur.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Roscoea purpurea<\/i> i think<\/p>\n

\n

This is not <\/span>R alpina
\n<\/i>I was also in doubt whether <\/span>capitata<\/i> or <\/span>purpurea<\/i>. … may be right in this being <\/span>purpurea<\/i><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Yes it should be R. purpurea<\/i>, perhaps purple colour is confusing for ….
\nR. alpina<\/b> has purple flowers and corolla tube much longer whereas both R. purpurea<\/i> and R. capitata<\/b> have mauve or light blue flowers and with shorter corolla tube. R. capitata<\/i> has numerous flowers in the spike.<\/span><\/p>\n

But see the flower colour and long corolla tube. It should be R. alpina<\/i>, if I am not wrong<\/p>\n

As far as I know, only 2 Roscoeas<\/i> are recorded from Uttarakhand.\u00a0 It is not R.alpina<\/i><\/u> which is also found in Kashmir and H.P. (I saw it in Deodar forest at Manali in the mid-1980s), so presumably must come within what is known as R.purpurea<\/i><\/u>.<\/div>\n
‘Flora Simlensis’ has this species under the name R.procera<\/i><\/u> – both this and R.alpina<\/i><\/u> are known from Shimla.
\nHowever, a number of new species of <\/span>Roscoea<\/i><\/u> have been described from Nepal in recent decades, so one needs to eliminate some of these from consideration – I do not have the details to hand.<\/span><\/div>\n
